CHRISTIiSIZED INDIANS
We have already given editorial attention
to the recent decision of Indian Commits
sioner Atkins and his assistant. Upshaw,
by which the Dakota Indians are denied
the privilege of being taught educational
branches. or to read the Bible, in their ma
tive tongue. in which text books and the
Bible have been printed for their use. The
Santees were. by the announced decision OF
this same Upshsw. made voting citizens.
and exercised their privilege in voting con-
csrniny the location of the county seat.
Rev. DIR. }. +. Roy. q secretary of the
American Missionary association, under his
well known signature Of Pilgrim" In the
idudncs. Chicago, makes the good point
ON Upshaw that while every Hebrew,
Catholic, Mormon and foreigner of any
tongue Is allowed to study in private and
parish Schools" the Santee Indian. now a
citizen. is deprived Of q corresponding
privilege. and the doctor says, with truth
and force:
1t surely is very unfortunate that the
government has precipitated this distract
ing and dishesrtening issue just now when
il Is moving to get the Indians 10 accept of
citizenship and land-in-severAity. Ii Ger
tainly is very ill-advised that the Indian
department should thus ding off its right
hand helper, the missionary force that has
been doing almost the only civilizing work
for these many decades, in spite Of all the
hindrances of removals aud treaty viola
tons.
These Christian Indians. at their annual
convention held at Santee, September l6.
adopted memorial addressed to the presl-
dent. asking him to revoke Upshaw's unin-
telligent and outrageous order. which vir-
tually prohibits the indians frOm the free
use of their own language. The petition
was written in the native tongue, by one
of the indians. and was translated, as fo.-
lows:

GIVE THEN CHANCE.

We have several internal organs that are
decidedly useful to us-really indispensable.
a. we discover when they get out Of repair
and refuse to work. The stomach Is
one of these organs. and we proceed to
abuse it in various ways-rushing down in
to II quantities of unmasticsted food, in ex-
cessive quantities, year after year, until it
finally. after suffering long and uncOm-
plainingly. kicks vigorously and throws
up the sponge Then the owner finds out
for the first time. that he has such an organ
and that. when it is able to do its work.
properly. it is a princeless possession.
Another of these organs is found In the
lungs; and here let il be stated that diseases
of the lungs are the great American all
ment-that which people fear more than
any other, and which. IN popular estimation.
is considered ircurable.
But, IL the lungs are properly treated and
cared for. disease need not be feared. nor
when II makes its appearance need 1t be
considered beyond remedy. The lungs are
very well-disposed. They are self-acting,
and with half chance they will take good
care of themselves. But they demand an
adequate supply of fresh air. and they re-
Quire. also. favorable and helpful phys
zeal environment. 1t is the function OF the
lungs 70 take in the exterior atmosphere, to
their full capacity. II this atmosphere is
pure and adequate in supply there is hardly
any chance for disease to take hold Of the
structure OF fiber. II il only when people
half breathe, or breathe impure air. that
portions of the lungs become disabled and
fall into disuetude. Ii adults, and espe-
cially children. will learn to stand or sit
erect, and to curve their chests and not their
shoulders. thereby giving their lungs plenty
of room in which to do their work. and will
get into the habit OF taking long and full
breaths which will fill their lungs, every
time they take in the air, they will find
themselves pretty well protected from lung
disease. But the stomach must also he well
treated. The food must be properly masti-
Gated, and must be sent down in proper
quantities. and cheerful. quiet disposition
must be cultivated-especislly at table,
Nervous tendencies should also be over
come. In these conditions diseases Of the
lungs can be checked and cured. in many
instances. even after they have got under
pretty good (or bad headway.
OF the stomach and lungs prudence says
to every man or child-Givs them chance
To take care of themselves and to take care
of you. Give to one wholesome. digestible.
nutritious food. IN proper quantities. and to
the other an abundance of fresh, pure air.
and plenty Of time to breathe it.

1t is with pleasure we chronicle a
pleasant call on Monday evening from
Mr.. |. J. Mills, of Adel, Iowa. He is
a delegate from that State to the In
tersLate Convention, and may be said
to be the first of the many delegates
that will be in attendance at the Lake
Charles Convention. Mr. Mills is also
newspaper man, being the associate
editor of his eounty's paper, and from
the limited conversation we had with
him it strikes us very forcibly that he
is a gentleman of large experience,
and his eounsels 10 the convention will
be of great weight and benefit. Since
AFR. Mills arrival in our parish he has
purchased tract Of land, about four
miles north of WEIGH, and is now
bnsily engaged in opening mp farm,
and intends residing in Caleasieu per
manently, as be is perfectly carried
away with the climate and the soil.
Mr.. Mills informed us that large
number Of persons from his section in
Iowa would, very probably, move to
our parish during the spring. His
coming and speedy action 10 Pnr-
chasing a home, - good evidence thai
we may look for a large influx Of new
corners after the Interstate Conven-
ton, for on the return Of delegates to
their homes the people Of the North
ern States will be fully informed as to
the many advantages our climate and
soil offers.

THE Morehouse Sentinel replies as
follows to a statement that the re-
nomination of GOV. McEnery will cause
a split in the party: 1--WE have no
fear in any such result The same
predictions we're made in 1884, but
came to nought. The .hue and cry
raised against Gov. McEnery then was
as bitter as any dennnciations that
can be connected 10 1887. He came
through the contest unscathed, with
the proud bird Of victory perched upon
his banner The Democratic party is
not hurt, but strengthened by the cleo
ton Of such men AS Sam McEnery.
The same crowd of yelpers are still
barking at the Governors heels, and
be treats them with the old-time dis
dain and contempt The weather is
fairer for him, but cloudier and more
stormy for his traducers. As the ex-
perlencr of 1884 is pretty apt to be
repeated 10 the coming election We
would advise our friends not to make
rash threats of leaving the grand old
Democratic ship. There is always
some pretty rough sailing on the po-
litieal seas, and it is better to be in a
vessel that has proven itself superior
to the attacks of the elements than to
be dashed hither and thither IN a frail
and dangerous craft. Don't give up

THE st. Charles Herald, in speaking
Of the late Farmers Convention held
at Baton Rouge, has this to say about
the Lake Charles Convention: "Fol-
lowed, as it is to be, by the Interstate
Agricultural Convention to meet on
the 22d Of this month, at Lake Charles,
there is every reason to expect re-
yiyal throughout Louisiana Of farming
industry. The Herald sees in this 10
sinister motives Of politicians nor
any reason to doubt the sincerity Of the
promoters Of these conventions. On
he contrary, we view them as worthy
of encouragement, and as furnishing
one Of the factors of coming pros.
perity Of our people. It is to be hoped,
that adverse criticism will, to 40 ex-
tent, decrease the interest and de-
termination Of those who, by their
efforts, are striving to better our agri-
cultural condition. We trust the in
telligent farmers of this parish will be
represented at Lake Charles.p

Ono of the NEST important of com
ing events is the grand convention Of
Dairymen and Fruit Growers, which
will be held al jackson, Miss, on the
10th, 18th and 18th of the present
month. For this meeting tlIe most
elaborate preparations have been made.
His Excelleucy Governor Robert
Lowry, viii welcome visitors in the
name of the State of Mississippi, and
Hon. John McGill, Mayor of jackson,
will extend greetings in behalf of that
progressive, euterprising, interesting
and pleasant city.
Liberal butter premiums have been
offered by the commission merchants
of New Orleans and by the business
men of jackson, for which eompeti-
tion is opened TO the world.
Profound interest in the industries
of the South has been awakened
throughout the Union, and especially
as to early vegetables, fine berries,
fruits and dairy products, In evidence
of this, we cite the fact that at this
convention addresses will be delivered
by such learned and practical men as
W. ID. Hoard, ESQ.,, editor Of Hoard'S
Duirypsan, Fort Atkinson, Wis; Prof.
S. A. Knapp, late president of the
Iowa Agricultural College; Col. K.
NJ. Littler, of Chicago, Col. Il. J..
McClincy, secretary Elgin Board of
Trade, and many others, who by years
of careful study and experience are
qualified to give advice on all matters
bearing upon the management of the
dairy, as well as upon general farm
topics.
Here will be rare opportunity tor
our farmers to ShoU what they can do,
see what others are doing, and hear
from the lips of men who are =Gompe-
tent to teach, and whose eloquence and
grace enable them TO impart their
knowledge in a pleasant manner, what
can and should be done.
We are gratified to add that the old
stand blythe great Illinois Central
Railroad always the friend of the peO-
pie, with its usual liberality and public
spirit, will not only transport all pro
ducts intended for exhibition free Of
charge, but will sell excursion tickets

than walking! We call upon our PEG
pie to make grand rally at jackson.
and by their active cooperation, show
that they appreciate the interest taken
in the Improvement, aud development
of our section.
